Ivan M. Turner, Jr. is a scientist at E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (DuPont) who has published several papers on nitrile hydratase enzymes. He has over 15 years of experience at DuPont and has taken various professional training courses related to radiation safety, biohazards, toxic substances regulations, and hazardous materials emergency response. His references include his current technical manager at DuPont and a former technical manager who is now retired.
The increase in resolution and taxon sampling of algal phylogenies resulting from the various algal tree of life projects and other initiatives worldwide opens tremendous opportunity to learn more about the evolution of all aspects of algal biology. Using evolutionary modeling techniques in a phylogenetic context, hypotheses about the evolution of particular traits and their interaction with speciation-extinction dynamics become testable. I will illustrate this with three case studies. First, I will investigate the evolution of the thermal niche of seaweeds, showing how it affects latitudinal diversity patterns. Second, I will test the hypothesis that the evolution of cellular trace element requirements (stoichiometry) is dominated by endosymbiosis events. Third, I will investigate the evolution of morphological traits typically used in species-level systematics, focusing on its implications for the prevalence of cryptic diversity. These case studies show the potential and limitations of the approach, and offer new insights in algal evolution from the very recent to the very ancient, and across the various subdisciplines of algal biology.
Seminar abstract: I will be talking about two ongoing research projects in my laboratory: (1) evolution of thermal niches in seaweeds, (2) biodiversity of endolithic algae in coral skeletons and its relationship with the environment. Using evolutionary models in an explicit phylogenetic framework, patterns of evolution in environmental traits such as the sea surface temperature (SST) affinities of species can be studied. Based on case studies in the green algae Codium and Halimeda, it is shown that lineages behave differently when it comes to their evolution of SST affinities, and that there is a strong correlation between the evolution of SST affinities and rates of species diversification. For the second part of the talk, I will focus on our recent work on environmental sequencing of coral skeletons. These feature unexpectedly high biodiversity of limestone-boring algae as well as many unknown inhabitants. Our first results indicate that the diversity of algal endoliths may be linked to environmental conditions, but this hypothesis needs further testing.
